A nonbinding joint resolution urging Alabama's State Board of Education to refrain from accepting federal funds tied to the Common Core until a full and open legislative debate occurs.
The bill would formally request that the State Board of Education delay accepting CCSS-related federal funds until the Legislature has a full, open debate. It frames this as a matter of preserving state control over standards, curriculum, instruction, and testing. It also requires the State Superintendent of Education to distribute the resolution to the board, signaling official support from the Legislature.
